Some of the biggest problems with circulating air throughout any building are the natural impurities and pollutants that are present. Fortunately, removing these impurities is easy if you have a working air filter. In a similar manner, many houses also have water filters that remove any excess heavy minerals that can affect taste or your health. Much like a house, your car also has several filters that keep everything running efficiently, and it is important to install clean replacements after they have been used. At Coast Nissan, your San Luis Obispo car dealer, we can inspect each of these filters and determine which ones are due for a change.

Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter
There are two major air filters in your Nissan: one for the engine and one for the actual cabin. The air filter is important for preventing contaminants from entering the cylinders of the engine. Pollutants and particles like dust and dirt are generally removed from the air by the filter before it combines with fuel, and a dirty air filter can greatly lower your fuel economy. The cabin air filter improves the quality of the air you breathe while driving, and a fresh filter can offer relief to asthma and annoying allergies.

Fuel Filter
Before the fuel can mix with air in the engine, it is passed through the fuel filter in order remove any particles that could cause interference. Fuel is not perfectly clean, and the dirt that the filter removes will slowly build up and make the filter ineffective, which hurts your vehicle’s performance.

Emission Filter
When fumes are produced by the combustion chambers, they can be re-burned to improve fuel economy and reduce pollution. This #filter removes any harmful oil vapor that is created, and if not replaced regularly could lead to rough idling and a higher consumption of oil.
